Package management

A TwinCAT/BSD installation includes the software required for the operating system and the TwinCAT 3 Runtime. You can install additional software or TwinCAT Functions.

You have to decide which functions you need and choose software that provides these functions. This chapter shows you how to:

• search for,
• install,
• update,
• uninstall
• and lock packages, i.e. precompiled software.

The command pkg info lists all packages installed on the system, together with their respective versions. pkg info <packagename> displays information about a specific package.
